How to make pumpkin pie

Pumpkin pie has a certain history in our country. After all, pumpkin is a popular food, and the cost of food made from pumpkin is relatively low. Of course, pumpkin pie is made in different ways in different regions, and it all depends on people’s tastes. Pumpkin pie contains many ingredients that are beneficial to the human body, such as active proteins and trace elements. So, what is pumpkin pie?

Method 1

1. Wash the pumpkin, peel and remove the pulp, cut into thin slices, and heat in the microwave on high heat for about 10 minutes (you can use chopsticks to poke the pumpkin to determine whether it is cooked). If you don't have a microwave, use a steamer. Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, put them into the steamer and steam them until cooked;

2. Use a spoon to mash the pumpkin into pumpkin puree while it is still hot, add glutinous rice flour (the amount of glutinous rice flour should be such that the dough does not stick to your hands, no need to add water), knead into a ball, then add a small spoonful of cooking oil, knead evenly, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise for 15 minutes;

3. Take an egg-sized piece of dough, roll it into a ball and flatten it, wrap it with an appropriate amount of red bean filling, pinch the opening tightly, roll it into a ball and flatten it to make a small round cake. Repeat this process until all the dough and fillings are used up;

4. Coat both sides of the pumpkin cake with white sesame seeds;

5. Pour a little oil into the frying pan, heat it up, put the pumpkin cake in, and fry over medium-low heat until both sides are golden brown.

Method 2

【Ingredients】: Pumpkin, milk, red bean paste, glutinous rice flour, dried fruit

【step】:

1. Peel the pumpkin, cut into cubes, cook and mash it, being careful not to add too much water.

2. Add glutinous rice flour and a small amount of milk, knead it into a dough, and it is better to knead it a little drier. You can also add a small amount of cooking oil to the dough, which will make the finished product look more shiny.

3. In fact, as you can see, the above two steps of making pumpkin pie are the same as making small pumpkins, but this step is different: flatten the pumpkin dough directly and fry it in oil to make pumpkin pie.

4. Use a toothpick or other similar tools to press out patterns on the pumpkin pie; you can also decorate the top of the pumpkin pie with wolfberries or raisins.

Comments: Because the pumpkin pie is fried in oil, it tastes fragrant, sweet and chewy, making it perfect for having one or two pieces during afternoon tea. In comparison, the pumpkin seems lighter.
